OTC 2542 Knee Stabilizer Wrap | Spiral Stays | Orthopedic Knee Brace | ACL MCL Meniscus Support

The OTC 2542 is designed to provide moderate support, compression, and stability to the knee joint. It is commonly used for ACL, MCL, and LCL injuries, meniscus tears, patellar instability, osteoarthritis, runner's knee, tendonitis, and post-operative recovery.

Orthotex® is an open-cell breathable fabric that allows air circulation and moisture control, keeping the knee cool and dry during extended wear. Unlike neoprene, it is suitable for people with neoprene sensitivities or allergies and is more comfortable in warm conditions.

Measure the circumference around the bend of your knee (the center of the kneecap). Use the sizing chart provided to match your measurement to the correct size, ranging from X-Small (14–15 in) to 5X-Large (30–34 in).

Yes. The OTC 2542 is designed to fit both the left and right knee, so you only need one brace regardless of which knee requires support.

The spiral stays are flexible supports sewn into the sides of the brace that provide medial and lateral stability. They help prevent the knee from buckling sideways while still allowing natural forward and backward movement.

The patella buttress is a padded ring around the kneecap opening that helps keep the patella (kneecap) properly aligned and reduces pressure on it during movement, which is especially helpful for patellar instability and runner's knee.

The brace should feel snug and supportive without cutting off circulation. You should be able to slide one finger under the straps. If you experience numbness, tingling, or increased swelling, loosen the straps immediately.

Open the brace completely flat, position it behind the knee with the patella opening centered over your kneecap, then wrap and secure the upper and lower hook-and-loop straps for a firm, comfortable fit. The flat-open design makes it easy to apply even over a swollen or tender knee.

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron, as this may damage the Orthotex® fabric and hook-and-loop closures.
